The Truth Game (John Pilger) Part 10

John Pilger's penetrating 1983 documentary.

Looks at worldwide propaganda surrounding the nuclear arms race, beginning with the dropping of two American atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, through the build-up of nuclear arms by Russia and America and the siting of the U.S. nuclear bases in Britain and Europe, to NATO's recent `limited' nuclear and chemical war exercise in Germany. Documentary concerning the way in which `official truth' is used to condition pe ople against the real facts of nuclear war, and the concept of more "limited" nuclear arms use.

I could never understand why the West was so convinced that the USSR was hell-bent on invading or attacking either Europe or the USA: as the guy right at the beginning said, it just wouldnt make sense, they would have to be dumb to do it. Nowhere was it written that the USSR wanted to invade anyone: they wanted to rebuild their country after the war, they had their 5 year plans, building socialism and communism. Crazy paranoid USA government.

@ralucagymnast If the Soviets knew invading anyone in the West was suicide, then doesn't that mean that deterrent worked as advertised?
